For the Irish Coast will soon draw near
And we’ll set a course for the old Cape Clear
Oh Jenny get your oatcakes done
Whip Jamboree Whip Jamboree
Oh you pig-tailed sailor hanging down behind
Whip Jamboree Whip Jamboree
Oh Jenny get your oatcakes done
And now Cape Clear it is in sight (51.4392,-9.5045)
We’ll be off Holyhead by tomorrow night
And we’ll steer a course for the old Rock Light
Oh Jenny get your oatcakes done
And now my lads we’re off Holyhead (53.3108,-4.6282)
No more salt beef or weevily bread
One man in the chains for to heave the lead
Oh Jenny get your oatcakes done
And now my lads we’re off Fort Perch Rock (53.4427,-3.0405)
All hammocks lashed and sea-chests locked
And we’ll haul her into the Waterloo Dock (53.4131,-3.0011)
Oh Jenny get your oatcakes done
And now my lads we’re all in dock
We’ll be off to Dan Lowry’s on the spot
And there we’ll sup a big pint pot Jenny get your oatcakes done
Oh Jenny get your oatcakes done
Whip Jamboree Whip Jamboree
Oh you pig-tailed sailor hanging down behind
Whip Jamboree Whip Jamboree
Oh Jenny get your oatcakes done
And now my lads we’re off Holyhead (53.3108,-4.6282)
No more salt beef or weevily bread
One man in the chains for to heave the lead
Oh Jenny get your oatcakes done
And now my lads we’re off Fort Perch Rock (53.4427,-3.0405)
All hammocks lashed and sea-chests locked
And we’ll haul her into the Waterloo Dock (53.4131,-3.0011)
Oh Jenny get your oatcakes done
And now my lads we’re all in dock
We’ll be off to Dan Lowry’s on the spot
And there we’ll sup a big pint pot Jenny get your oatcakes done
Oh Jenny get your oatcakes done
Whip Jamboree Whip Jamboree
Oh you pig-tailed sailor hanging down behind
Whip Jamboree Whip Jamboree
Oh Jenny get your oatcakes done
